A senior resident in my town stated she received a call from this phone #. The caller asked if she was the owner of the number. She said yes. The caller stated he was from the IRS and her phone # was selected to win $5000. She suspected this to be a scam and stated to the caller "what do you want my account #, you are talking to the wrong senior." The caller then began to swear at her in a foreign language. Then he swore at her in English. She hung up.
Just seen on Cnn news this morning, people are calling stating they are from the Irs in regards to the rebate checks to be mailed out in a few months, these epople are asking for banking information, and social sec #, Irs said by no means will they be calling anyone, just wanted to inform you, and who ever else who does not know about this new scam going on, be careful, give no info!! its all indenity fraud etc...
